Interspecific variation in seed traits facilitates divergent pre-dispersal seed predation among five stone oak species

Abstract Background Seed traits, including size, nutrient content, mechanical and chemical defenses, are important factors influencing seed-animal interactions. Representing insect-seed antagonism, pre-dispersal seed predation (PSP) has a significant negative impact on plant reproductive success. Ho...
